Do you know what happens during the first 60 minutes of a phishing attack? In this paper, security industry analyst Derek Brink, a Research Fellow at Aberdeen Group, crunches real-world data and measures the business risks of phishing attacks, including calculating the costs of phishing to businesses, the probability of small and large losses, and the ROI on incremental investments in advanced security to prevent phishing.

We are fully entrenched in the digital age, so much so that you're probably reading this with a smartphone or mobile device within arms length. Similarly government is also making the shift towards a digital future.
But with moving away from paper-based records and towards digital data, there are new opportunities for potential security risks regarding government data and content. As cyberthreats continue to grow in number and sophistication, agencies should be looking at features to secure every level of their digital infrastructure and content.
Check out this new pocket guide to learn content security best practices, why it matters, government rules and regulations related to digital data and its associated security and content challenges. You’ll also learn tips and tricks to apply at your agency to make sure your content is secure.

The report presents a tiered service approach to enterprise mobile security while exploring how NAC and MDM as complementary controls can offer necessary network and device level defenses to enable IT organizations to realize mobility advantages and reduce security and compliance exposures. The report also examines ForeScout's mobile security offering and presents relevant use cases.

The digital economy is transforming the financial services sector. The pace of innovation is accelerating, customers have higher expectations than ever, and new competitors are emerging from nontraditional markets. At the same time, financial services has long been a favorite target of cyber attackers, and despite firms’ best efforts, cybersecurity threats are rising and attacks are more successful than ever. Financial services firms need a more effective, adaptable approach to detecting and stopping cyberthreats.

The headlines are ablaze with the latest stories of cyberattacks and data breaches. New malware and viruses are revealed nearly every day. The modern cyberthreat evolves on a daily basis, always seeming to stay one step ahead of our most capable defenses. Every time there is a cyberattack, government agencies gather massive amounts of data. To keep pace with the continuously evolving landscape of cyberthreats, agencies are increasingly turning toward applying advanced data analytics to look at attack data and try to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the attacks. Applying modern data analytics can help derive some defensive value from the data gathered in the aftermath of an attack, and ideally avert or mitigate the damage from any future attacks.

Virtualization promises to boost efficiency and cut costs, making it an important element in your IT department’s efforts to do more with less. Whether you’re running applications on physical or virtual machines, you still need to stay vigilant to guard against the constant and growing hazard of malware and other cyberthreats that can put your business at risk.

Cybercriminals are creating and deploying new threats every day that are more destructive than ever before. While you may have more people devoted to IT security, established businesses like yours are vulnerable to a wider array of attacks. To keep your organization safe, it's imperative to stay at least a few steps ahead of the bad guys. Do you know where the threats are coming from?

Traditional antivirus (AV) is not the solution to preventing security breaches on the endpoint – it is the problem. AV is no longer
effective at stopping today’s cyberthreats. Although AV satisfies many regulatory, governance and compliance requirements, it saddles organizations with hidden costs while providing little to no real security value.

Regulatory fines for violations of HIPAA in the US, DPA in the UK and GDPR can cost organizations millions of dollars. And providers can’t afford the costs of cyber security incidents which can range from prolonged downtime, not being able to care for patients, to paying a ransom to unencrypt important data.
Learn the biggest threats to your organization and how to improve protection against:
• Ransomware such as WannaCry and Petya
• Malicious URLs that entice users to click
• Bad Attachments that can infect your network
• Business email compromise that siphons information or cash from your organization
• Internal employees and the potential for malicious intent or careless mistakes

Know your enemy! Establishing an effective defensive strategy is crucial with today's rapidly evolving cyberthreats. Understanding the cybercriminals' techniques used to perpetrate successful attacks is essential.
The Cyberthreat Defense Report is based on a rigorous survey of IT security decision makers and practitioners across North America and Europe. It reveals the current and planned deployment of technological countermeasures.
Read this new report from CyberEdge and stay one step ahead of your enemy.

The first two installments of the Cyber-threat defense report began the process of looking beyond major breaches and the never ending evolution of cyber-threats to better understand what IT security teams are doing to defend against them.

When it comes to fighting modern malware, there is no “silver bullet” that can guard against every threat every time. That’s why McAfee takes a different approach. We combine multiple layers of advanced malware protection, detection, and correction technologies into a single endpoint defense fabric. To keep up with cyberthreat innovation, effective detection and analysis requires new state-of-the-art anti-malware technologies: Real Protect and Dynamic Application Containment, complemented by the McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense sandbox. Find out how these tools work together to systematically protect against the most dangerous malware threats.
